Spring Description
The spring forms a tiny alcove on the riverbank. The spring pool is C-shaped, open to the river, and about 12 feet in diameter. Water flows from a limestone opening against the riverbank, and a clear flow is visible. The spring was about 3 feet deep at the vent, the deepest point on dates of visit in 2000 and 2001.

Use/Access

Personal Impressions
A very cute little spring that is easy to miss because it is so small. It lies between GIL1012973 and GIL1012972.
